Summary of Meeting:Recent advances indicate that, in addition to providing a first line of defense against pathogens, Innate Immunity plays a critical role in controlling and instructing adaptive responses in vertebrates. The principles and mechanisms of this regulation of adaptive immune responses by Innate Immunity are the focus of this symposium. The meeting will highlight the new frontiers of research on the cells, the receptors, and the signal transduction pathways that mediate innate immunity and control adaptive immunity.
